     The great tribulation began nearly two thousands years ago   
      
      
   They have preached that Jesus first will come invisibly for the   
   world and take God's people to heaven. After that the Antichrist   
   appears, and the great tribulation will begin and last for seven   
   years. Then Jesus shall come to judge the world. This is only a   
   theory and it does not agree with the Bible.   
      
   As it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of   
   the Son of Man. When Noah went into the ark, the flood came   
   and destroyed all. Likewise, as it was in the days of Lot. The   
   day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from   
   the heaven and destroyed all. According to those things, it will   
   be in the day the Son of Man is revealed. Luke 17:26-30.   
      
   When Noah went into the ark, it was no delay of seven years   
   before the flood came. The flood came the same day. On the day   
   Lot went out from Sodom, it was no delay of seven years before   
   the fire fell above Sodom. It happened the same day. Of this we   
   can understand, at the same day Jesus comes to take his people   
   to heaven, then God's judgement comes at once above the   
   ungodly world.   
      
   Of this we can understand, at the same day Jesus comes to take   
   his people to heaven, then God's judgement comes at once above   
   the ungodly world. In Matt. 24:29-30 Jesus says clearly that he   
   shall come after the tribulation. That Jesus shall come before   
   the great tribulation and before the Antichrist appears, it is a   
   false doctrine. It does not agree with what the Bible teaches.   
      
   It cannot be more than one first resurrection, and it will take   
   place when Jesus comes. This resurrection which is described   
   in 1 Thess. 4:13-17 and in 1 Cor. 15:23, 51-53, it is the same   
   resurrection as in Rev. 20:4-6. There in verse 4, we can see that   
   those which have been under the Antichrist's regime, and who   
   had not worshipped the beast nor its image, and had not received   
   the mark of the beast on their forehead or on their hands, they   
   have part in the first resurrection. Then Jesus comes to take his   
   people to heaven.   
      
   The great tribulation will not last only for seven years. It began   
   nearly two thousands years ago. Satan and his churches have   
   persecuted, tortured and murdered many millions of Christians.   
   Can a tribulation become worse?   
      
   The churches have not been better, only changed the tactic.   
   When the devil did not succeed in exterminating the Christians   
   by mass murder, then he tries with seduction. With speaking   
   about "love" and "Christian unity" he entices them to apostasy   
   from the Lord. The ecumenicalism is a fishing tackle of the   
   Catholic Church to ensnare the Christians into the Catholicism.   
      
   All sorts of free church members become enticed to apostasy   
   from the Lord. They believe that their free churches are   
   assemblies of God, and they do as their leaders say. The church   
   is the greatest deceit in the history of the world, and the "love"   
   of the church are only religious fornication and seduction.   
      
   If we observe the context in Matt. 24:4-27, then we see that it   
   was during the great tribulation and before Jesus' arrival, that   
   these false Christs and false prophets would appear.
